More quotes by George R. R. Martin
We're all the heroes of our own stories. So, when I am inside the head of a character who would otherwise be considered a villain, I have a great deal of affection for that character and I'm trying to see the world and the events through their eyes.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
The cable makers are the ones who are willing to take risks and do something original and push the envelope some.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Knowledge is a Weapon, Jon. Arm yourself well before you ride forth to Battle.
George R. R. Martin
There are two kinds of writers. There are architects and gardeners. The architects do blueprints before they drive the first nail. The gardeners just dig a hole and plant the seed and see what comes up.
George R. R. Martin
A frightened man is a beaten man.
George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
George R. R. Martin
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin
Black moleskin gloves covered his hands the right because it was burned, the left because a man felt half a fool wearing only one glove.
George R. R. Martin
Wisdom oft comes from the mouth of babes.
George R. R. Martin
Jon: Have you seen the wall? | Sam: I'm fat, not blind.

The best calumnies are spiced with truth.
